Pumice VS Dog Hair

Does anyone here use or ever heard of using a pumice rock for dog hair removal? We use it at out local express detail shop and it works wonders, it picks up that stuff with no effort what so ever.



If I ever had my business take off I think I would invest in one of these, they are cheap and very effective.
 
I think megs makes a brush just for dog hair, it works really well

yea pumice works really well in certain parts, you need to be carefull around the back of suv seats. For example a customer keeps his dog in the rear hatch area of a jeep grand cherokee on the back parts of the seat in the cargo/hatch area underneath that carpet is cardboard. It will lift the carpet from it. Its awesome on carpets though on the floor. good luck just like any other tool its nice to ad to the arsenal.
 
have any of yall seen the 5 inch rounded brush that attaches to your buffer? my supplier showed it to me, and said all the car lots use it to quick get rid of pet hair. also, wraping duct tape around your hand and dapping the carpet works nice too...if you dont have a tool to ge tthe job done.
 
I find that other than my round PC brushes, wearing a rubber glove and rubbing the carpet or seats while vacuuming at the same time also works wonders.
 
Enforcer, I'm really curious about the buffer attachment you mentioned. The pet hair issue is the one that brought me to this forum. I've tried rubber gloves, rubber brushes, Meguir's pet hair glove, Pledge fabric sweeper, clothes brushes, masking tape......The list goes on, but nothing's working very well. (We just clocked 7 manhours to get the dog hair out of a Jimmy - all on a flat rate job). What's the scoop on the buffer brush?
 
I've used pumice powder on acid rain removal(on glass) but never for pet hair, I think the chemical/product guy that comes by the shop has a couple of the pumice rocks on his shelves. I've always used a rubber latex glove. it works real good.
 
Just used that "rock" today---I took video and pics, but they are still in the camera. I took a LONG time on the interior as it was covered in lab hair- short and long. Just got back from dropping the car at owner's house- they were very excited and pleased.



I will get you the post when I get the video up--had my son shoot it while I used the tool.



You can get them for $10 to $18 each online.



It also worked very well on getting the sand to go with the hair! We live in a beach town so it was a mix.

Lightweight synthetic pumice blocks are used to remove bot fly eggs from horses coat and can be found at equine supply stores. These are the kind that work really well on carpet, but as has been mentioned, they aren't safe on any surfaces but carpet. They work better than rubber and bristled brushes IMO.
 
You guys can look at my video on FB I just put on..it's not edited yet---shot by my 10 yr. old- he's pretty good. It shows the pet hair removal tool I use and there is another one of my steamer in use.



FB--great way to market!!!

Ooops...looks like you have to be my "friend". Sorry. How can I upload the video on its own?



I'll have it on my site, but not until I get it edited with an intro and so on.

I tried pumice today for the first time. It really does work pretty good. I was a bit dismayed when I realized how fast I was going through them. I've used two on one vehicle already and it's not hair-free yet. I just bought the ones that the horsey store had, as my detail supply guy doesn't have anything like this. Are they the same, or is the product designed for detailing more durable?
